Every Time I Get Told I’m Under-qualified For Something And Respond With The Reasons I Am In Fact Qualified,

Okay explain because I'm interested

Oh thank god. You will regret this.

Now, the first thing to do here is to explain exactly what I mean by ‘top/bottom’ discourse. What I’m referring to, specifically, is people arguing over fictional characters (usually) and their preferred positions in penetrative sex. These characters being gay, almost exclusively. Pretty fucked up, but now that we have that point of reference, I can explain better. Now, there is no inherent heteronormativity in thinking a character prefers to bottom or top, but the discourse here is usually where the problem lies. First of all, roles of ‘top’ and ‘bottom’ aren’t exclusive. A top can bottom, a bottom can top, there is no set rule. Thinking anything otherwise dangerously borders on ‘____ is the girl of the relationship cause he only ever takes’ territory. This is the heart of this heteronormativity claim. In general, this discourse will be in the comments of any fanart or fanfiction of a gay fictional pairing that happens to be sexual. Usually, you’ll find at least a few comments of ‘Nooooooooo, ____ totally tops!’ and with the expectation that said character should always be the more sexually dominant one, even if there’s no penetrative sex being displayed and the word ‘top’ is being used to refer to sexual dominance. The core of this discourse is never actually about the actual meaning of ‘top’ and ‘bottom’, but in fact the words are being used in place of ‘the girl’ and ‘the guy’. If you replace ‘____ is the bottom!’ with ‘____ Is the girl in the relationship!’ it suddenly makes the comment make sense, and also reveals the sinister nature of top/bottom discourse.

I hope this was coherent, lol.

sometimes I go on Pinterest and see comments I made and forgot about, and it feels like I’m being executed by gunshot against a brick wall

I need everyone to understand that any time I ship a m/f couple it is in an unmistakably queer way. Never once have I shipped a heterosexual m/f pairing, you understand.

*fucking legs it.*

so far I've only seen the "haha jun wu was so funny putting fengqing in charge of the same domain" take and yes it is objectively a hilarious thing for him to have done but has anyone considered he did that hoping they'd fail? i mean look at yin yu and quan yizhen. being in charge of the same domain didn't work out so well for them. I'm betting jun wu was hoping something equally devastating would befall fengqing so that when xie lian eventually ascended again he'd be without his old friends and all alone. put the two known for hating each other together and let them fight over the south and surely they'll end up destroying each other right? well jokes on jun wu fengqing are the worst kind of codependant and they ain't going anywhere
